Dear Glebe Families
I can’t quite believe we have reached the end of half term. What a busy and successful term we’ve had.
We were all blown away by the overwhelmingly positive feedback and comments at parents’ evening this week. Thank you for choosing Glebe and being part of our journey.
I think it’s fair to say both staff and children alike are exhausted at this point so it leaves me only to say have a fantastic, fun-filled and restful half term break.
We can’t wait to return refreshed and ready for the Christmas term.
Thank you for all of your support.

Girls’ Football – Glebe vs Edward Francis
The girls’ football team had a very challenging match on Monday, away at Edward Francis. Although we lost this time, the girls battled with heads held high and smiles on their faces, despite the rain! Miss Mitchell and Mrs Norman’s Player of the Match is Mia C, who made some incredible saves in goal in the first half; and worked so hard in an attacking position in the second half, showing she is a skilful all-rounder all over the pitch.
